In Conjunction with the Paediatric Orthopaedic Unit at Johannesburg Hospital

A hands-on Clubfoot Management seminar facilitated by International experts from Uganda, The Netherlands & Canada

5 International facilitators will share their tried and tested experiences to enable you to implement the Ponseti technique. On completion, you will have the skills required to set up your own Ponseti Clubfoot Care Clinic and be part of the community of Ponseti users in Southern and East Africa.

This year STEPS will host 2 separate workshops to address the different components
of the Ponseti Technique (both workshops to run concurrently):

  PONSETI THEORY AND CASTING TECHNIQUES AT JOHANNESBURG HOSPITAL

This is of great benefit to orthopaedic surgeons and casting technicians, specifically those specialising in paediatrics.

The programme consists of presentations by a top international faculty and practical hands-on workshops. Delegates will practice techniques extensively on models as well as watch demonstrations on patients. We will also work towards a consensus plan for clubfoot management in Southern Africa.
 
 
   
  STEENBEEK FOOT ABDUCTION BRACE MANUFACTURE AT CHRIS HANI BARAGWANATH HOSPITAL (FOR PUBLIC HEALTH HOSPITAL WORKSHOPS ONLY)

This hands-on workshop is of great benefit to orthotists and orthopaedic technicians / shoemakers in public health hospital workshops. Run over 2 days, each delegate will make the Foot Abduction Brace that plays a major part in the Ponseti Technique. Limited space is available, selection process by application only. Delegates will be selected on merit and written motivation. Closing date 25 October 2007.
